Attraction: Blafjoll Ski Area

Thirty minutes from Reykjavik, Blafjoll's network of slopes—from bunnies to black diamonds—suits a wide range of skiers. Powder is prime January through April and in summer, pros flock to the nearby glaciers.

Blafjoll Ski Area is Iceland's largest winter park, with 13 lifts and varied vertical drops. Evening visitors can ski under the stars—parts of the park light up at night.
